Are we going back down the technology hype rabbit hole?
Over the last few months people are talking more about technology. We are seeing the top 5 stocks for (name the technology) videos appearing.
In this video I discuss the technology backdrop and how there are societal impacts that go through 20 year cycles. The next two decades will see this yet we have to be careful about falling for the hype.

I actually believe Apple has done it again. Come late to a new market segment and figure out what is the best way to take a major chunk of this segment.
The main feature is the screen, or flexibility of them. So it is great for those that need to look at a lot of different screens at work. Instead of using alt+tab constantly, you just resize them as needed and put them next to each other and you just turn your head from left to right.
At night you expand it to a massive cinema size screen when you want to watch a movie.
Or think about the football World Cup where you could watch multiple games at the same time without switching or touching the remote.
Also very clever to make AR and not VR. This way you still are somewhat connected to your surroundings, which is great in a family setting or when using it for video conferencing at work.
To me this is the most flexible screen setup I’ve ever seen and Apple has thought long and hard about how it would be most convenient and acceptable to wear this device when you want to use a screen at work out at home.
The gesture control is a vital feature for ease of use.
Comments on the ipod, ipad, iphone were usually: it’s too expensive, it is not as powerful as the competition, it has less features etc.
I believe Apple is showing the industry again what they should’ve been doing all along
